The Green and White THE OFFICIAL SEMI-WEEKLY STUDENT PUBLICATION AT OHIO UNIVERSITY VOLUME XVII. OHIO UNIVERSITY, ATHENS, OHIO,* TUESDAY, APRIL 24,1928. NO. 45. Hurling of Miller Gives Miami Win Over Bobcat Squad By Bob Marriott Veteran Pitcher in Shutout Role as Locals Drop Buckeye Inaugural SCORE IS 7-0 Wiliams' Shoestring Catch Provides Sensation' of One-Sided Contest Nine innings of supejb hurling by Miller, Oxford hurler, and one big scoring frame enabled the Miami diamond squad to take a 7-0 decision from the Ohio Bobcats at Oxford, Friday.The Ohioans were virtually helpless before the man who had previously conquered Ohio State, and they garnered only five safe blows off of his delivery. The winners, on the other hand, nicked Barfoot, Ohio southpaw, for 10 safe blows which, coupled with four misplays on the part of the locals, were sufficient to hand the home squad the victory. Except for the fourth frame, in which the Miamians counted six safeties and one less tally, Barfoot had little difficulty in keeping the Miami blows well scattered. The one fatal frame, however, proved his undoing, and Miller worked along easily, receiving excellent support from his team-members. That the Bobcats were not particularly weak in finding Miller's hooks is shown by the fact that he obtained only four strikeout, but each Ohio bingle invariably found some Miamian's waiting mitt. Isakle, first sacker, scored 18 put-outs, but his unusually effective hickory was helpless before Barfoot's left arm and he failed to connect for a safety. "Cy" Provides Thrill The feature play of the game, acclaimed by those present as one of the most sensational catches ever completed on the Miami diamond, was accomplished by "Cy" Williams in the fourth fram*. With one away and one on, Isakle hit, what appeared to be a sure safety, out to right, but Williams, coming in fast, made a shoestring catch of the fly, a play which eventually prevented further scoring in the inning. Breaks of the ball game fell almost entirely to the winners; in one instance an easy hit by Crockett bounded over Wililams head, and at another point in the same inning, Ewbank's single going past Brammer for a triple. Both mishaps were the result of the Miami diamond. Both the infield and outfield are rough and irregular. The Ohio and Miami hurlers worked effectively throughout the first two frames, neither squad getting, into scoring position, but the Miamians scored, what proved to be the winning counter, in the tihrd stanza. Elsesser started the trouble by doubling down the left field line. Crockett knocked out a hot grounder to Bayless, the latter throwing him out at first, but Elsesser took third on the play. On the next play Ewbanks hit a slow roller down the first base line, but Elsesser had taken a big lead off third and managed to slide in home before McKinley was able to get the ball to Rhodes. Ewbanks took first on the play. At this point Williams made his spectacular running catch of Isakle's fly and Barfoot fanned Welsh, ending the inning. Fourth Proves Fatal The succeeding inning proved disastrous from many aspects and prevented the Ohioans from competing in what would have otherwise been a hotly contested ball game. Latsche got the Miami attack under way with a double into left center. Gorie was thrown out at first and Latscha took second. Douglas scratched an infield hit, but Latsche beat the throw to third and all were safe. On a similar play, a slow roller down to first by Miller, Latscha slid safely into the home station and Douglas reached second, Miller taking first. In attempting to take third Douglas was thrown out and Barfoot's worries were apparently over, but Elsesser doubled to left, scoring Miller. Crockett lined out an apparently easy grounder to Bayless, but the ball hopped over his head for a single. On the next play, Ewbanks drove a hot liner out to Brammer, but again the ball went by for a triple, Crockett scoring. Isakle'got in front of one of Barfoot's offerings and took first on the next play and Welsh singled, scoring Ewbanks. Latsche flied out to end the inning. Eighth Ends Scoring The winners added their final counter in the eighth. Douglas singled and in an attempt to catch him off first, Rhodes heaved the ball on into right field, Douglas ambling on around to third on the play. Miller was thrown out at first on the following play, but, in attempting to receive Barfoot's throw to tag Douglas off third, Robeson missed the ball, Douglas going in to the home plate. Ellsesser flied to Barfoot for the second out of the inning, Crockett singled, Ewbanks took first on an error, but Isakle flied out to end the inning. Locals Win Place In Columbus Meet Entered in their first outdoor track event of the season, the Ohio relay team, composed of Schaal, Terven, Pyle, and Tilton, took third place in the distance medley relay in annual Ohio relays, held at Columbus, Saturday.Terven finished fourth in the fastest preliminary of the century dash, an event which was later won by Simpson of Oho State, who tied the world's record in finishing in 9 and 3-5 seconds. Twelve Ohio relay records were shattered during the course of the meet. o.u. . Hard Games Ahead For Ohio U. Netters Cincinnati and Marietta to Provide Opposition This Week Court enthusiasm, dampened only by the persistent efforts of Jupiter Pluvius, and ready to break forth anew with the first ray of sunshine, should reach its crest this week as the local net squad faces a two-day assignment which brings them against Cincinnati in the inaugural Buckeye match and against Marietta, here, in an Ohio conference battle. Rain caused the cancellation of the opening match which was to have been played at Granville, Saturday, but Coach Bird announces his team in top condition and intends to send them through a heavy drill on Wednesday, preparatory to meeting the strong Queen City squad, at Cincinnati, on Thursday. A late report yesterday, indicated that the local courts would be unfit to stage the Ohio-Muskingum contest, slated for this afternoon. Although the Cincinanti lineup has not been definitely determined, it is generally believed that Franz, veteran •star and captain of the squad, and Oexman, another man of experience, will line up against Lutz and Gross, Ohio representatives in the first two positions. Among the other outstanding aspirants in the Bearcat camp are Potter and Spragens, inexperienced racqueteers, but among the most promising of the Queen City applicants.In addition to Gross and Lutz, Walton and Henderson are scheduled to complete the Ohio racquet array. Walton, because of his experience last year, will hold down the third man position, while Henderson, a sophomore of much promise, will enter the fourth position. Cast Ready With Next College Play, "Outward Bound" Play Has Proved Popular With Little Theatre Clubs Throughout Country NINE IN CAST A play decidedly different from, the usual college play, cast with nine people coached to give a presentation decidedly different from the usual college performance—" Outward Bound," will be seen at the Majestic Wednesday evening after a little more than one month's rehearsals under direction of Harold Evans, The play since its Successful season in New York in 1923 has been exceedingly popular with little theatre clubs and amateur dramatic organizations throughout the country. It was selected by Oliver Hinsdell, of the famous Dallas, Texas, Little Theatre for its special presentation of a cast of players chosen from among Little Theatre groups everywhere. It is quite in line with the vogue of today which demands a revival of the all-star cast, for the nine players in "Outward Bound" are presented in featured roles. Blend Pathos and Comedy Sutton Vane has blended pathos and subtle English comedy in his tale of a strange assemblage of ship-mates, and has made the combination unusually effective in brilliance of lines. Strange bits of philosophy find their way into the play, such as Mrs. Midget's assurance that "you can't 'ave your cake and eat it as the sayin' goes, or your gin and drink it." The set is being built by George Swindel, George Caswell, Al Sindlinger, and Vincent Jukes, and will be painted by Charles Gressle with the assistance of Ethlyn Boyer who designed the scene. The setting for the three acts is the smoke cabin on board ship, with a bar and red plush seats in evidence. An unusual color combination consistent with the theme of the play has been worked out. Lighting is in charge of Al Sindlinger. Al Reed and Jimmie Blankenship will be responsible for off-stage effects. Harry Mahan is acting as assistant stage manager. Critics in New York and London have acclaimed "Outward Bound" as the dramatic news of the day, and its success throughout the country has been general. But as Mrs. Midget says, "Ow do I know, if I ain't been there?" To disclose the plot of the play would be to rob it of its suspense —to know this play one must see it unraveled on the stage. Quartet Returns Full of Sun and Stories After 23 Days' Absence By Charles Etsinger After over three weeks' traveling in the west as the guests of the Atchison, Topeka, and Sante Fe railroad, the Ohio university quartet, with Dave Todd, accompanist, and Prof. C. C. Robinson, returned yesterday to Athens. Tanned from their exposure to the hot sun rays in New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and California, the travelers appeared in the best of spirits and health today as they recounted for many, among others the Green and White reporter, some of their experiences on the trip. All were willing to talk, and after listening to descriptions of the Grand Canyon, the trials of riding a mule up and down the mountain passes, what swimming in the Pacific ocean is like, tales of reveling in shifting sand dunes barefooted, and reports on how their concerts were received, it was evident that the musicians had had a most busy time. The last letter received by the Green and White found them in Gallup, New Mexico, where they gave their last concert. From there the quartet, on their return, .took up the tale. Visiting a Zuni Indian reservation, a short distance from Gallup, was one of the "high-lights" of the trip, according to the quartet. Here is how they describe the Indians and the reservation:"A most superstitious people, existing under almost primitive conditions, are the Zuni Indians. Over 3500 lived in the one village we visited. Some of these are college graduates, who have, howveer, fallen back again into the old superstitious customs of ages ago. In fact, they, in a sense, must revert to their old habits and throw away their veneer of modern civilization, for the old Indians regard the college graduates as witches if they do not cast away the civilized apparel and habits. Progress is necessarily slow, under such conditions. "But one things should be noted about these Indians: they have no marriage laws and the woman is the head of the family. Whenever she becomes dissatisfied with her mate, she discards him for a new one with as much unconcern as modern wives get divorces. "Near the reservation is an old church, over 100 years old. Three Catholic priests were murdered in it many years ago, and until about ten years ago, no priest ever trod its narrow aisles again. Beside the church is a cemetery, 50 feet square, where it is said burials have been made for 300 years; and the graves are dug," one upon another, like bricks in a building."The Grand Canyon apparently amazed them. They painted its golden glory at sunset in glowing terms. They dwelt at length on their journey to the bottom of the canyon on the backs of surefooted mules over narrow paths, where a single misstep might have meant disaster for any of them. To look over the edge of the small path and see a vast abyss stretching away hundreds of feet below was a sight to excite the steadiest, they all said. Now they are back again to Athens. And the most favorable reports of their prorgams at the various stops on the itinerary indicate that the journey has been a profitable one for the quartet and for Ohio university. o.u.

HOLD SECOND MEET Verein Features Second Meeting With Music and Readings by Members Two of Eichendorff's celebrated Mendelssohn's renditions of celbrated forest poems and a reading by Dorothy Krohmer which will be used as the basis of German conversation by the club, will be the features of the second regular Deutsche Verein meeting of the month to be held Thursday evening at 7 o'clock in Ellis Hall. Miss Helen Hedden will be in charge of the quartet which will sing. At the last meeting, the club was entertained at the home of Prof, and Mrs. J. A. Hess. Three new members were initiated at that time: Bella Gilmen, Helen Hook, and Marian Press. The principal address of the evening was made by Professor Jeddeloh upon "Deutsche Wanderlust." Four-day Exercises Planned in Program John Stewart Bryan, Richmond, Va., Will Deliver Graduation Address Announcement of the Commencement exercises was made today from the office of the President. The fourday ceremony will begin Saturday, June 9, with a McGuffey pageant by the Athens branch of the A. A. U. W. and will end Tuesday, June 12, with the graduating exercises and conferring on honorary degrees at the men's gymnasium. John Stewart Bryan, Litt. D., LL. D., Richmond, Va., will give the commencement address. The busiest day of the exercises as now planned, will be Monday, Alumni Day. The program begins at 8 o'- clock with the annual senior class farewell breakfast, features an alumni golf tournament, intercollegiate tennis meet, reception, commencement picnic, the final production of "Hello Happiness," and the campus illumination and serenade. ELIMINATE EYESORES Billboard to Take Place of Cards Stuck Along Main Walks Billboards on which all posters will be placed in the future, are now being built, and will soon be located about the campus at places passed by everyone who enters the college grounds. Five boards will be erected at the Alumni Gateway, College street entrance. University Terrace entrance, and near the women's and men's gym- * The idea of using boards for all announcements and advertisements of campus functions followed a plea for the beautification of the campus. u.U. NEW ENGLAND NEWS Hanover, N. H. (New Student Service—Two editors of The Tower, literary magazine of Dartmouth College, have resigned because New Hampshire laws by which they are governed differ with them on the definition of what is immoral in literature and what is not. After having three of their stories rejected, the editors decided that the law wins every time. NO PAPER FRIDAY There will be no issue of the Green and White Friday of this week. Publication will be resumed on Tuesday. Bobcats Ready to Renew Feud With Bishops Tomorrow Defensive Drill Stressed in Anticipation of Strong Wesleyan Squad In an effort to correct the defensive weaknesses which came to light in the Miami encounter and to strengthen the Ohio squad at the plate, Coach Peden is sending his Bobcat ball tossers through* a stiff practice drill, preparatory to a renewal of the Ohio- Wesleyan baseball feud here, tomorrow.Not only the fact that the Bobcats are long time enemies of the Battling Bishops promises to create unusual enthusiasm for tomorrow's battle. The first debatable issue of the afternoon lies in determining the supremacy of Barfoot, local hurler, or Shaper, Wesleyan twirler. In two engagements last season these boxmen divided a pair of hard-fought tilts and, quite naturally, each is anxious to cop the deciding game. The fact that Shaper recently twirled the Bishops to a neat victory over Miller and his Miamians, the squad which conquered the Ohioans, provides sufficient incentive for Barfoot and his teammates to denounce the suprcamcy of the Oxfordians. And, finally, it is not to be disregarded that an Ohio victory over Wesleyan is just about as pleasant as a Buckeye championship and, incidentally, that a standing of .500 is entirely more desirable than the present three ciphers. Dope Favors Bishops Gazing at the comparative scores of the teams involved, one would be inclined to hand the visitors the decision tomorrow, but Dame Rumor has it that a hustling ball club is ever a threat, particularly when backed by the local element, and that figures, after all, mean little when the home squad is on the top side of the fence. Although the local array, in toto, has not been definitely decided, Coach Peden intimates that the lineup which faced Miami last week will be little changed tomorow. As has been said, Barfoot is ready to win the crucial contest and will be on the mound with Jack Rhodes in the vicinity of the receiving line. The outer edges of the infield will be occupied by "Pete" McKinley and Jack Robeson while Bayless and Kline will be found at the second base and short stop positions, respectively. "Tony" Agostinelli is slated for his old right garden job and will find the companionship of Brammer and Williams, who will be within calling distance provided they are not chasing long flies to the outer edges of Mr. Bird's carefully preserved greensward. All in all, a very capable outfit, provided thej* assume the responsibility of making one more run than their opponents, an issue often neglected by even the best of teams. Probable Wesleyan Lineup Despite the fact that a Methodist lineup is about as uncertain as a Methodist picnic it is hardly probable that Coach Staten will use others than those who worked so well against Miami. Shaper is in line for box duty with Allen behind the plate. The infield jobs will be filled by Hnizder, a veteran shortfielder; Morrison, a promising second baseman: Shaw, hard hitting first sacker, and Healy, who will assume the guardianship of the hot corner. Hartley, Myers, and Rice, the latter a powerful sticker, will be in the outfield. Buckeye inauguaration ceremonies tomorrow will be brief. At 2:30 "Peck" Beverage will announce the batteries and the game will progress without further ado. The result you will see in a forthcoming issue of this paper, but, hardly caring to wait that Ion"' or to miss a Wesleyan day celebration, you will be present. Tn'their second Buckeye engagement of the week the Pedenmen will engage the Cincinnati squad, here, Saturday. The Bobcats were rained out at the Queen City, last week, and there is a possibility of a double header taking place on the week-end. Further announcement of the bargain attraction will be made later. Committee's Plans Round Out Pending School's Response Ticket Sale Limited to 300, Committee Decides, to Insure Facilities TUX SCARCITY SEEN Conservative Informal Wear Will Be Acceptable In ' Event of Shortage Prom week is here. And with the big day no longer a matter of weeks, but of days away, the loose ends of all the arrangements set afoot by the now famous committee's far sighted plans are tying over every possible contingency that may arise in the staging of the biggest enterprise of the kind ever attempted at this university. The day's big news is that 300 couples will attend the dance, and only that number. After the quota necessary to put the Prom over with all the garnishings has been attained, the committee decided, attendance should be limited in order to prevent overcrowding. Three hundred couples is all that is needed. Hence the stopping ♦ of the ticket sale at that number. Another late decision is that in event of a scarcity of tuxedoes at the last minute, dark blue or black suits and wing collars will be permissable, and not in poor taste. Preparations Begun And as tangible evidence that the great affair is not far off, Logan's show window was, today, the center of attraction with its display of the Athens merchants' gifts to the Miss Ohio who will be crowned Friday at midnight—with appropriate ceremonies. Five men will be here early Thursday morning from a Cincinnati decorating company to transform the gymnasium into a ballroom, with private booths lining the sides of the dance floor and special niches for the two orchestras, Knickerbocker's Philadelphians and "Hot Lips" Johnson's band, which will stage the much heralded "battle of music." During his recent return to Athens, Joe Baldi, accordianist of the Deshler- Wallack orchestra, declared that "Hot Lips," formerly a member of the Chicago Nightingales, was one of the "best in this part of the country." The specialty act, consisting of Nita Yvonne and her voice, will be brought from Columbus if the gate receipts wil only promise to justify the expense. Arrangements have been made to bring the singer here even if only the very last minute door sales bring the necessary $l5OO for a dance with the fixin's. No Gate Crashing In order to preclude all possibility of anyone's crashing the gate at the Prom, two policemen will be stationed at the door. They will remain at the door all evening, for the express purpose of keeping anyone without a ticket out of the gymnasium. Couples leaving the gymnasium during the Prom will be readmitted only upon presentation of their coupon at the door. This is to prevent other couples from entering with another person's ticket, after it has once been used. a The refreshment concession and checking privileges have already been let. The steward of the Hotel Berry will have charge of all refreshments for the dance. o.v. Runners to Enter Triangular Meet Fourteen Ohio university tracksters will take part in the inauguration ceremonies of the Buckeye track season at the triangular meet to be held Saturday at Cincinnati. Miami and Cincinnati will be the other two contenders.Russ, Terven and Glander will represent Ohio in the dashes while Schaal, Tilton and Pyle will do their part in the distance events. Freshwater, Green, Patterson, Ward, and Reese will represent the Bobcats in the field events. The man to throw the javelin is still undecided but the choice lies between Algeo and Mc- Dade. Miami will depend on the field events for their points because of several of their distance men having been injured in an automobile accident last year while enroute to Denison. Vossler, shot putter for the Red team, won that event at the Ohio relays last Saturday, heaving the weight a distance of 44 ft. 4 in. Davis, also of Miami, made a good showing in the high jump. Although Cincinnati did not make much of a showing at Columbus they will be strong competitors in the contest on their own field. They are rather weak in the field events but will be strong in the dashes and distance runs. Gallimore, two-miler for the Bearcats, held the record for that event in the Ohio conference last year. The Ohio university men will leave for the meet Friday at noon and will be accompanied by coach Bill Herbert and Manager Ohm.

Quartet Returns Full of Sun and Stories After 23 Days' Absence By Charles Etsinger After over three weeks' traveling in the west as the guests of the Atchison, Topeka, and Sante Fe railroad, the Ohio university quartet, with Dave Todd, accompanist, and Prof. C. C. Robinson, returned yesterday to Athens. Tanned from their exposure to the hot sun rays in New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and California, the travelers appeared in the best of spirits and health today as they recounted for many, among others the Green and White reporter, some of their experiences on the trip. All were willing to talk, and after listening to descriptions of the Grand Canyon, the trials of riding a mule up and down the mountain passes, what swimming in the Pacific ocean is like, tales of reveling in shifting sand dunes barefooted, and reports on how their concerts were received, it was evident that the musicians had had a most busy time. The last letter received by the Green and White found them in Gallup, New Mexico, where they gave their last concert. From there the quartet, on their return, .took up the tale.

Here is how they describe the Indians and the reservation:"A most superstitious people, existing under almost primitive conditions, are the Zuni Indians. Over 3500 lived in the one village we visited. Some of these are college graduates, who have, howveer, fallen back again into the old superstitious customs of ages ago. In fact, they, in a sense, must revert to their old habits and throw away their veneer of modern civilization, for the old Indians regard the college graduates as witches if they do not cast away the civilized apparel and habits. Progress is necessarily slow, under such conditions. "But one things should be noted about these Indians: they have no marriage laws and the woman is the head of the family. Whenever she becomes dissatisfied with her mate, she discards him for a new one with as much unconcern as modern wives get divorces. "Near the reservation is an old church, over 100 years old. Three Catholic priests were murdered in it many years ago, and until about ten years ago, no priest ever trod its narrow aisles again. Beside the church is a cemetery, 50 feet square, where it is said burials have been made for 300 years; and the graves are dug," one upon another, like bricks in a building."The Grand Canyon apparently amazed them. They painted its golden glory at sunset in glowing terms. They dwelt at length on their journey to the bottom of the canyon on the backs of surefooted mules over narrow paths, where a single misstep might have meant disaster for any of them. To look over the edge of the small path and see a vast abyss stretching away hundreds of feet below was a sight to excite the steadiest, they all said. Now they are back again to Athens. And the most favorable reports of their prorgams at the various stops on the itinerary indicate that the journey has been a profitable one for the quartet and for Ohio university. o.u.

HOLD SECOND MEET Verein Features Second Meeting With Music and Readings by Members Two of Eichendorff's celebrated Mendelssohn's renditions of celbrated forest poems and a reading by Dorothy Krohmer which will be used as the basis of German conversation by the club, will be the features of the second regular Deutsche Verein meeting of the month to be held Thursday evening at 7 o'clock in Ellis Hall. Miss Helen Hedden will be in charge of the quartet which will sing. At the last meeting, the club was entertained at the home of Prof, and Mrs. J. A. Hess. Three new members were initiated at that time: Bella Gilmen, Helen Hook, and Marian Press. The principal address of the evening was made by Professor Jeddeloh upon "Deutsche Wanderlust." Four-day Exercises Planned in Program John Stewart Bryan, Richmond, Va., Will Deliver Graduation Address Announcement of the Commencement exercises was made today from the office of the President. The fourday ceremony will begin Saturday, June 9, with a McGuffey pageant by the Athens branch of the A. A. U. W. and will end Tuesday, June 12, with the graduating exercises and conferring on honorary degrees at the men's gymnasium. John Stewart Bryan, Litt. D., LL. D., Richmond, Va., will give the commencement address. The busiest day of the exercises as now planned, will be Monday, Alumni Day. The program begins at 8 o'- clock with the annual senior class farewell breakfast, features an alumni golf tournament, intercollegiate tennis meet, reception, commencement picnic, the final production of "Hello Happiness," and the campus illumination and serenade. ELIMINATE EYESORES Billboard to Take Place of Cards Stuck Along Main Walks Billboards on which all posters will be placed in the future, are now being built, and will soon be located about the campus at places passed by everyone who enters the college grounds. Five boards will be erected at the Alumni Gateway, College street entrance. University Terrace entrance, and near the women's and men's gym- * The idea of using boards for all announcements and advertisements of campus functions followed a plea for the beautification of the campus. u.U. NEW ENGLAND NEWS Hanover, N. H. (New Student Service—Two editors of The Tower, literary magazine of Dartmouth College, have resigned because New Hampshire laws by which they are governed differ with them on the definition of what is immoral in literature and what is not. After having three of their stories rejected, the editors decided that the law wins every time. NO PAPER FRIDAY There will be no issue of the Green and White Friday of this week. Publication will be resumed on Tuesday. Bobcats Ready to Renew Feud With Bishops Tomorrow Defensive Drill Stressed in Anticipation of Strong Wesleyan Squad In an effort to correct the defensive weaknesses which came to light in the Miami encounter and to strengthen the Ohio squad at the plate, Coach Peden is sending his Bobcat ball tossers through* a stiff practice drill, preparatory to a renewal of the Ohio- Wesleyan baseball feud here, tomorrow.Not only the fact that the Bobcats are long time enemies of the Battling Bishops promises to create unusual enthusiasm for tomorrow's battle. The first debatable issue of the afternoon lies in determining the supremacy of Barfoot, local hurler, or Shaper, Wesleyan twirler. In two engagements last season these boxmen divided a pair of hard-fought tilts and, quite naturally, each is anxious to cop the deciding game. The fact that Shaper recently twirled the Bishops to a neat victory over Miller and his Miamians, the squad which conquered the Ohioans, provides sufficient incentive for Barfoot and his teammates to denounce the suprcamcy of the Oxfordians. And, finally, it is not to be disregarded that an Ohio victory over Wesleyan is just about as pleasant as a Buckeye championship and, incidentally, that a standing of .500 is entirely more desirable than the present three ciphers. Dope Favors Bishops Gazing at the comparative scores of the teams involved, one would be inclined to hand the visitors the decision tomorrow, but Dame Rumor has it that a hustling ball club is ever a threat, particularly when backed by the local element, and that figures, after all, mean little when the home squad is on the top side of the fence. Although the local array, in toto, has not been definitely decided, Coach Peden intimates that the lineup which faced Miami last week will be little changed tomorow. As has been said, Barfoot is ready to win the crucial contest and will be on the mound with Jack Rhodes in the vicinity of the receiving line. The outer edges of the infield will be occupied by "Pete" McKinley and Jack Robeson while Bayless and Kline will be found at the second base and short stop positions, respectively. "Tony" Agostinelli is slated for his old right garden job and will find the companionship of Brammer and Williams, who will be within calling distance provided they are not chasing long flies to the outer edges of Mr. Bird's carefully preserved greensward. All in all, a very capable outfit, provided thej* assume the responsibility of making one more run than their opponents, an issue often neglected by even the best of teams. Probable Wesleyan Lineup Despite the fact that a Methodist lineup is about as uncertain as a Methodist picnic it is hardly probable that Coach Staten will use others than those who worked so well against Miami. Shaper is in line for box duty with Allen behind the plate. The infield jobs will be filled by Hnizder, a veteran shortfielder; Morrison, a promising second baseman: Shaw, hard hitting first sacker, and Healy, who will assume the guardianship of the hot corner. Hartley, Myers, and Rice, the latter a powerful sticker, will be in the outfield. Buckeye inauguaration ceremonies tomorrow will be brief. At 2:30 "Peck" Beverage will announce the batteries and the game will progress without further ado. The result you will see in a forthcoming issue of this paper, but, hardly caring to wait that Ion"' or to miss a Wesleyan day celebration, you will be present. Tn'their second Buckeye engagement of the week the Pedenmen will engage the Cincinnati squad, here, Saturday. The Bobcats were rained out at the Queen City, last week, and there is a possibility of a double header taking place on the week-end. Further announcement of the bargain attraction will be made later. Committee's Plans Round Out Pending School's Response Ticket Sale Limited to 300, Committee Decides, to Insure Facilities TUX SCARCITY SEEN Conservative Informal Wear Will Be Acceptable In ' Event of Shortage Prom week is here. And with the big day no longer a matter of weeks, but of days away, the loose ends of all the arrangements set afoot by the now famous committee's far sighted plans are tying over every possible contingency that may arise in the staging of the biggest enterprise of the kind ever attempted at this university. The day's big news is that 300 couples will attend the dance, and only that number. After the quota necessary to put the Prom over with all the garnishings has been attained, the committee decided, attendance should be limited in order to prevent overcrowding. Three hundred couples is all that is needed. Hence the stopping ♦ of the ticket sale at that number. Another late decision is that in event of a scarcity of tuxedoes at the last minute, dark blue or black suits and wing collars will be permissable, and not in poor taste. Preparations Begun And as tangible evidence that the great affair is not far off, Logan's show window was, today, the center of attraction with its display of the Athens merchants' gifts to the Miss Ohio who will be crowned Friday at midnight—with appropriate ceremonies. Five men will be here early Thursday morning from a Cincinnati decorating company to transform the gymnasium into a ballroom, with private booths lining the sides of the dance floor and special niches for the two orchestras, Knickerbocker's Philadelphians and "Hot Lips" Johnson's band, which will stage the much heralded "battle of music." During his recent return to Athens, Joe Baldi, accordianist of the Deshler- Wallack orchestra, declared that "Hot Lips," formerly a member of the Chicago Nightingales, was one of the "best in this part of the country." The specialty act, consisting of Nita Yvonne and her voice, will be brought from Columbus if the gate receipts wil only promise to justify the expense. Arrangements have been made to bring the singer here even if only the very last minute door sales bring the necessary $l5OO for a dance with the fixin's. No Gate Crashing In order to preclude all possibility of anyone's crashing the gate at the Prom, two policemen will be stationed at the door. They will remain at the door all evening, for the express purpose of keeping anyone without a ticket out of the gymnasium. Couples leaving the gymnasium during the Prom will be readmitted only upon presentation of their coupon at the door. This is to prevent other couples from entering with another person's ticket, after it has once been used. a The refreshment concession and checking privileges have already been let. The steward of the Hotel Berry will have charge of all refreshments for the dance. o.v. Runners to Enter Triangular Meet Fourteen Ohio university tracksters will take part in the inauguration ceremonies of the Buckeye track season at the triangular meet to be held Saturday at Cincinnati. Miami and Cincinnati will be the other two contenders.Russ, Terven and Glander will represent Ohio in the dashes while Schaal, Tilton and Pyle will do their part in the distance events. Freshwater, Green, Patterson, Ward, and Reese will represent the Bobcats in the field events. The man to throw the javelin is still undecided but the choice lies between Algeo and Mc- Dade. Miami will depend on the field events for their points because of several of their distance men having been injured in an automobile accident last year while enroute to Denison. Vossler, shot putter for the Red team, won that event at the Ohio relays last Saturday, heaving the weight a distance of 44 ft. 4 in. Davis, also of Miami, made a good showing in the high jump. Although Cincinnati did not make much of a showing at Columbus they will be strong competitors in the contest on their own field. They are rather weak in the field events but will be strong in the dashes and distance runs. Gallimore, two-miler for the Bearcats, held the record for that event in the Ohio conference last year. The Ohio university men will leave for the meet Friday at noon and will be accompanied by coach Bill Herbert and Manager Ohm.
